The move is part of the government’s Visit Mozambique initiative aimed at stimulating economic growth and attracting foreign investment through streamlined administrative procedures and enhanced connectivity.
It allows travelers from 183 countries to apply online for different visa categories, including tourist, business, humanitarian, sports and cultural visas, as well as long-term stays of up to two years. Applications can be completed fully online, with visas issued electronically before departure.
The new e-visa platform is operated by VFS Global. According to Jiten Vyas, Chief Commercial Officer of the company, the launch is expected to promote Mozambique’s global image, attract more international visitors and support the country’s long-term tourism development goals.
Earlier, from August 15, 2023, Vietnam began issuing e-visas to citizens of all countries and territories. The temporary stay period was also extended from 15 to 45 days for nationals of 24 countries unilaterally granted visa exemptions.
Mozambique, officially the Republic of Mozambique, is located in Southeast Africa. Often described as a "hidden gem" of the Indian Ocean, the country boasts thousands of kilometers of coastline and pristine islands, where unspoiled nature blends with diverse culture.
